And me from good mother, have been moved :)))) To all the mothers I want to wish them "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!"

Great day!!!!

Today has been a beautiful day, even if it rains and it is cold :))))
Because, will ask you?! Simple, I have finally received the first number of a magazine
to which months I had subscribed ago!
By now I didn't hope for there more, instead here it is there to sprout from the hole of the letters in all of his shine :)))) There are not a lot of magazines in Italy that speak of patchwork, rather to say the truth only finds one. That's why we subscribe there to the foreign magazines.
Other motive because I am happy: this evening I talked for the first time to Denise:))))
It lives in Oregon in the States, this is fantastic, we often write us us but we were not never there languages because my PC had some problems.
Sunday evening,my husband has reformatted afresh it and at the end it has succeeded in installing the Messanger correctly!
Only that I have made my worse conversation of all of my life:))))
I was very excited and seemed me to have forgotten all the words!!!!
But this has been very beautiful, seem impossible that there are 9 hours of distance!
Here in Italy they were the 6 pm while in Oregon they were the 9 am :))))
And' fantastic!!!!

English language

Excuse me if I have begun to write in English but it seemed me correct ,considering that the friends with which exchange siggys, blocks and also only ideas and thoughts, they lives in Europe and over ocean:))))
Here is me here in version English.
I hope that spares you me of the errors, unfortunately my English is not of the best:))))

Recently I have begun a job of Bargello, ohhhh it is very beautiful as fatiguing to do!
You turns all with to cut, sew, stretch, cut and to ri-sew!!!!
But at the end I believe the beautiful one it is insured:)))))
I now have to end the job!!!

Siggys

Questa mattina mi è arrivata la cartolina di Jovita, dalla Lituania, molto bella con un cuore (naturale!?) in primo piano.
Inoltre ho ricevuto un altro siggy per la mia collezione; questo arriva dall'Australia con un bel canguro saltellante sopra :)))))
Ehhh si, tra le tante cose che scambio e colleziono ci sono anche i siggys. Cosa sono vi chiederete??? Sono dei blocchi piccoli, 12 cm. di lato, dove c'è il nome di chi l'ha fatto la data e la provenienza, oltre naturalmente ad un piccolo disegno che rappresenta la quilters che lo spedisce.
Qui nelle foto, ce ne sono alcuni che io ho già ricevuto.
La signora che ha ideato questo scambio è Annelies ed è olandese, la lista delle componenti supera le 400 iscritte, lo scambio impone un'unico obbligo chi riceve lo scambia con un siggy propio :))))
Non è da molto che io ho iniziato ma sono già a quota 40!
l'idea è quella di riuscire a confezionare un world quilt :))))
E poi come dice la mia amica Pik: " ......solo il piacere di aprire delle bustine, sapere che qualcuno ha fatto una cosa per te, sentirsi una piccola parte di un insieme,....... pensare al resto del mondo e a tante storie intrecciate. "
Ecco, una cosa bella, insomma fatta con divertimento e gioia come dovrebbe essere il Patchwork!

Tra poco più di una settimana sarà Pasqua ed io e i bambini abbiamo iniziato con le decorazioni.

Solo che questo tempo "pazzerello" non invoglia molto! Anche oggi è freddo e piove a dirotto....in montagna ha pure nevicato!!!! Mi sà tanto che andremo a rompere le uova sotto la neve :))))

PostCard

Oggi ho ricevuto le cartoline da Angela e Cordula, fantastiche!
Molto belle entrambe,quella di Angela ha un cuore di plastica che ha la funzione di raccoglire dei glitter colorati sotto e quella di Cordula ha un bel cuore rosso su beige tutto trapuntato con filo dorato.
Naturalmente il filo conduttore di questo swap erano i cuori :))))

Mimosa

Oggi ho fotografato la mimosa del mio piccolo giardino.
Con un mese di ritardo è in piena fioritura!!!

In settimana ho ricevuto le bellissime cartoline di Lorenza e di Edith :))))
Belle davvero, sono propio felice per questo scambio, io sono alla prima esperienza ma credo che la ripeterò molto volentieri!
E pensare che ho avuto dei problemi all'Ufficio Postale perchè non volevano spedirle,dicono che non sono regolari!
Io non mi sono persa d'animo e su consiglio di Lorenza ho preso i francobolli e le ho spedite lo stesso.
Ora spero che arrivino sane e salve a destinazione :)))

Postcard Swap

Ecco quì, ieri ho finito il mio set di cartoline di stoffa.
Questa è la mia prima esperienza di questo genere, non avevo mai fatto cartoline postali prima d'ora. Tutto sommato mi sono divertita abbastanza nel farle,forse perchè si ha modo di creare con tanta fantasia :)))
Questo set fa parte di uno swap di cartoline, per " swap" nel linguaggio del patchwork si intende uno scambio. E' molto usato tra le quilters, si possono scambiare blocchi,stoffe,materiale e appunto, cartoline.
Ho già ricevuto le cartoline di Lorenza e di Edith, domani spedirò le mie :))))

Ecco,il primo fiore del mio giardino!

Primavera??!!

Per fortuna che dovrebbe essere primavera.....Il cielo è grigio, fà ancora freddino,e mi sembra autunno!!!!
